Assignment #2: CyberBullying (and Privacy)

1. One way someone can violate another persons privacy is non-consensual distribution of an intimate image. Another way to violate a persons privacy is voyeurism (secretly taking pictures or recording a person without them knowing).
2. A law in Canada that would be considered an unlawful act is illegal pictures and videos. An example of this would be child pornography. Another law would be acts that would make others feel unsafe. An example of this would be blackmailing.
3. Three ways you can report potential crimes are calling the police, going to the website Cybertip.ca, or contacts the kids help phone for their guidance.
4. "Dealing with peers" shows how you can regain control of your situation. One of the best things to do when you are being harassed on the internet or in person is to not respond to them. This makes them feel like they aren't getting to you and it may turn them off to bullying you. Another section is "helping a friend". Things that you may notice different about your friend could be he cause of cyber bullying. Some examples of what they may say are; messages that indicate a feeling of hopelessness or being all alone, frequent use of negative emoticons or hashtags, or also if they are pulling away from events they usually enjoy.
5. One thing I found interesting about one of the videos was the different stages a young girl had from being bullied and in the pictures, she was all alone but when she was getting better, you could see pictures with her and her friends which makes me feel like she is back to herself again.
6. One way I could help the #ChangeTheStory campaign would be sharing it with my friends on Facebook so they can see it and possibly help some people going through bad situations.
